With the fast urbanization and the improved requirements for land use efficiency, we combine plants with nano-functional materials, endow plants with magical functions, and achieve the efficient use of plants. Through the optimization of the literature and expanding the plant functions, we successfully designed the "living plant photonic capacitor". These functional plants are easy to display, green and safe. This topic carries out multilevel science popularization. In addition, we make a scientific interpretation of the concepts of nanometers and nanoparticles of public concern. Through vivid and intuitive experiments, this project lays the seeds of scientific inquiry for kids and helps the public feel the beauty and the interest of chemistry.
